No one is paying him and taking that 5th year option to do anything but start

Yeah, it took a little over five hours of "official" free agency, but I think enough potential suitors are off the market that I think the return for any trade of Fields would be low enough that they may just opt to hang onto him (his contract is fully guaranteed this year and his cap hit is the same whether he is on the roster or not). I don't think they would want to trade him in the division (MIN) and I don't know how the Broncos feel about needing an established starter with Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci already on the roster in a tank season.
